FC Pro Vercelli 1892 is a football club from Vercelli, Italy, currently competing in Serie B.
Pro Vercelli was founded as a gymnastics society early as in 1892. In 1903, the football department was created. The football team shortly announced about themselves claiming their first silverware in the shape of the Italian Championship in 1908. Till 1922, they collected another six champion titles. However, their fortune soon changed to a downturn in the mid 1930s as the club gradually slumped to lower and lower divisions.
In the 2011/12 season, the team won a promotion play-off of Serie C and bounced back to Serie B after 64 years of absence. However, the 2012/13 Serie B season didn’t start well for the club. They won only 4 out of 25 matches played and are extremely close to relegation.
Pro Vercelli players are often nicknamed the White Shirts or the Lions. They play their home matches at Stadio Silvio Piola that can hold up to 8,000 spectators.
